ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor device is provided in which a transistor which supplies a current to a load (an EL pixel and a signal line) can supply an accurate current without being affected by a variation. A voltage of each terminal of a transistor is controlled by using a feedback circuit using an amplifier circuit. A current Idata is inputted from a current source circuit to a transistor and a gate-source voltage (a source potential) required for the transistor to flow the current Idata is set by using the feedback circuit. The feedback circuit is controlled to operate so that a drain potential of the transistor becomes a predetermined potential. Then, a gate voltage required to flow the current Idata is set. By using the set transistor, an accurate current can be supplied to the load (an EL element and a signal line). As a drain potential can be controlled, the kink effect can be reduced.
